Former president Donald Trump was confirmed by the FBI to have been shot in the ear by a bullet during an assassination attempt at one of his campaign rallies. The incident occurred on July 13 when a gunman opened fire in Butler, Pa. There had been speculation about whether Trump was grazed by a bullet or hit by shrapnel, but the FBI confirmed it was a bullet that struck him. Photos and videos analyzed by experts showed that Trump’s injury was consistent with a graze wound from a bullet, not bullet fragments.
In response to FBI Director Wray’s testimony, Trump insisted he had been hit by a bullet, contradicting earlier statements. The exact nature of Trump’s injury remained uncertain, and disagreements arose among officials. Despite this, Trump’s health was monitored, and further tests were conducted to assess the extent of his injury.
After the FBI statement confirming the shooting, Trump expressed acceptance and gratitude for the apology. The incident highlighted the complexity of the situation and underscored the need for accurate communication and transparency in such matters.
